TequilaGringo Review: 90 pts We really enjoyed this blanco. It smelled of strong citrus, and the taste followed that up with an easy low heat, complex with citrus and maybe a little nut. Long delicious finish that we really appreciated. Easily one of our favorite blanco’s. Born in “EL LLANO”, one of the oldest distillery’s…

From TequilaGringo: 90 pts This is a particularly expensive, ultra high-end tequila, and we liked it! The nose has some vegetal hints, and very little burn. Initial taste was vegetal, with prominent sweet agave. As the taste progressed, it became a sweet pear and it kept getting sweeter, until the finish which was almost sugary….

Tequila Gringo Review: 89pts We loved this tequila. A real nice, clean citrus taste. Great way to start a meal. From the Official Website Copas Blanco is truly a unique tequila. It has a slight white ground pepper/lemon lime finish, with a strong agave presence. It is delightful to sip alone, yet also makes wonderful…

Tequila Gringo 91 pts Here’s a unique blanco. We’ve had mescals that tasted like this, but not blancos. This one had a unique richness to it, and a very smokey taste with hints of pepper. Usually you need more time in a barrel to pick up tastes like these. If you like smokey tequilas, this…

The taste however was much better, particularly how it finished. We’d say it’s a pretty good tequila, but not one of our favorites. Heck of a fancy bottle though,…

TequilaGringo 89 pts: This tequila gets a lot of buzz because of the perceived high quality that most people attribute to the Patron brand, and because of the incredibly high price. We did find it smooth, with a medium heat, but frankly, this just wasn’t something we loved. Don’t get us wrong, this is a…

TequilaGringo 91 pts: We love this tequila, and think it’s a wonderful place to start trying better tequilas. Citrus comes through right away, and you’ll be blown away by it – particularly if all you’ve had in your life is a Cuervo Gold that your buddy made you drink with lime and salt. Careful though,…

TequilaGringo 92 pts: Here’s a great old school tequila. Stone crushed, just how they used to do it. Much more laborious than the way most tequilas are made today, but damn if the old way didn’t produce a better tequila. They take 8 yr old agave plants (8-10 is pretty typical) and cook for 33…
